Introduction: Last blog post I mentioned writing an eBook regarding all of the information I learned from the OSCP course, labs, and exam. I got a solid response from readers, but I wanted to gain permission from Offsec before writing. Hence why it has been a little while! I wrote an introduction for the book, sent it over to them, and they had some reservations. The last thing I want to do is step on their toes, as such, I…

Hello Everyone! I am back with a quick update! Hours Spent: 22 Hours Note: I always wondered about the actual hours spent by others, so I decided to record mine for everyone!

About Me

Hello All,

I am a young and passionate cyber security professional learning as much as I can by doing. I have setup this blog to be able to share what I am learning in the cyber security industry, and to help me learn how to secure my own web application!

I am a true believer in hands on learning, and throughout setting up this blog I have learned much more about Microsoft Azure Web Hosting, Cloud flare, the pains of getting an SSL Certificate configured, WordPress, and much more!

I will be updating this blog as much as possible to display what I have been learning as of recent, and hopefully my content will be of use to other information security professionals!
